On top of the String Quartet, Boccherini invented the
String Trio and Quintet. He wrote 113 works for
this formation composed of 2 violins, 1
viola and 2 cellos. Mozart too will compose some
gorgeous ones, but with 2 violas and a single
cello. Quintet G 275, which comprises this illustrious
minuet, dates back to 1771.
